saw your work on the tombs. I checked the ref that is being used for "american manhood" and that text occurs no where on that page, so if you have a good ref for valor, I would just change it and get rid of the confusion. Gaijin42 ( talk) 05:32, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
The reference to "American Manhood" is in the cited source in the section of the representation of the three Greek figures. I do cite the "valor" reference also. Which representation is right...?? I do not know so that is why I kept both OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 16:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
on your user page, then your name will appear in blue ink instead of red ink, making you seem like not such a new editor. Either way, nice to have you around. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 18:10, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Great. Then you can move on and edit another article. Or two. Keeping Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on your watchlist, of course. Carptrash ( talk) 01:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
in New Mexico, one of the few places better than Colorado (though my mother is from Pueblo), but I do a fair amount of linking on wikipedia. It bothers me when a link goes to a page that is less than the best destination, so I try and figure out where it should go, and then go it there. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 21:55, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Though I am the director of the museum in Marble, Colorado, I live in Houston. Go up to Marble in the summer for 4 months to drive jeep tours. My mom was born in Golden and my dad in Olathe (on a farm).
The reference format you made worked out great for I added a text desciption after the link. Cleans up the "References" section really nice by hiding those long link strings. I did the same format change to the rest of the references and in the "External Reference" A great digital source of quarry info is now at hand OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 08:11, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

All those wiki linked article need to reference, mention or "See also" and then have a back link. It took some real time to find this. If you go to the general Wikipedia search page, you can use the "advanced' feature and it will bring up lots of articles that have the phrase in the article. It just takes perseverance. Grunt and scut work. Unfortunately, the Otis Building in Chicago is a very old building, and there just isn't an article, and indeed, I've found very little about it on Google. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Guy! I went back through, made it to "Today" and hope I didn't do any (or much?) damage. There's so much going on here, it's sometimes hard for me to track the technical details. I follow the picky copyediting details better, but may not be current with the MoS. Trying to get a geologist friend interested (she was leader of GS 357), but it's a tough time of year with all the holiday activity! I need to move on, but will keep an eye out! Good luck with the GA! -- Araucana ( talk) 18:19, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Regarding Broken Bow vs. Broken Arrow, Nebraska in Yule Marble: Unfortunately, I think your phone conversations would count as WP:OR. However, we don't want to leave an error in the article, however well-sourced it might be. I'll change the name to "Broken Bow" and add a footnote stating that Perazzo calls it "Broken Arrow", but that a Google search for "Broken Arrow, Nebraska" and a search for "Broken Arrow" on the Nebraska State Historical Society website both come up with no indication that such a city actually exists or existed.
Errors in sources are a rich source of irritation, aren't they? I'm in the course of writing a note to a brother editor to try to dissuade him from writing short stubs based on single sources, and one of my arguments is that errors in the sources go undetected that way. The errors in WP then get picked up by other sources, which makes it harder to detect and correct them. As Randall Munroe explains it... Ammodramus ( talk) 11:34, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
